    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Look at your Acan garden, boy it's grown.

    All the LPS look inflated.

    Looks like the algae issue is resolved.

    When you get around to it how about a couple of the Chalice please.

    Looks fantastic Jerry.

    It's a little buzzy, but flow is great. I have the Reef Angel cable on the way, so I'll be able to control the wave patterns better. Corals really respond well to the
    random flow.

    Algae isn't quite gone. Bubble stuff is still hanging on, mostly because my friends entire 90 gallon reef tank was just added to my system. Hair algae is almost completely gone, though.

    Here's all of my chalices, full light.

    Tyree RWM. Over 50 eyes now. After taking this picture, I can see it's getting too much light. Need to move.

    Dr. Foster's Mycedium, it's much more bright green IRL.

    Jerry that mycedium is nuts dude, seriously. Looks like its a great grower for you too. In other news, my wife just left me for Jerry..........

    I just got a pretty sweet oxypora for 10 bucks from a friend who went down to Denver. I hope I dont kill it its my first chalice in about a year. Would you say your chalice are in a low flow area? I blasted my chalice with flow and light.

    Oops, I mislabeled that picture, fixed. Mycedium is the all green one.

    Low to medium flow and low light brings out better color, in general. They are crazy easy to care for. Kind of like an orchid, less is more for them.

    These two are not even below the light fixture. The one on the right would be cooked if it was.
